The Rain Dance

Gusts of wind fly past the house Large gray puffs roll in Drip drip drip on the roof And then the puddles begin Peering out the window A girl just under ten Wishing wanting yearning For the clear drops on her skin Dashing up the stairs To where her jacket hides Searching through the mess To find where it resides Yellow rubber attire Covers head to toe Ready for adventure Outside is where to go Sloshing through the water Jumping to and fro Watching water collect And the new rivers flow Dancing in the rain Belting out the bliss Feeling the water hit her Like a little droplet kiss Hear her name, Eliza Carried in the air The rain dance is over Much to her despair A quick wave goodbye To her new befriended A flash of colors through the sky Shows that it has ended
